This practical guide considers the research evidence that is needed to inform enlightened practice, and offers concrete suggestions and teaching approaches for early years settings and classrooms. This comprehensive book shows the 'what,' the 'how,' and the 'why' of innovative, creative practice for teaching language and literacy. The author clearly examines how young children learn to use both spoken and written language, and shows how to assess, plan and teach for the effective learning of speaking, listening, reading and writing.
Each chapter includes case studies, learning and teaching suggestions, and further reading.

Like the use of case studies throughout the text which illustrate the points beautifully.
Would have liked more emphasis on language development, however the book was very informative.
